Amazing humans with an amazing cause. I can’t imagine how anybody could leave a review below five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I walked up and the man was so nice, telling me all about the food and why it is the way it is. I’m very happily surprised today, and will definitely be coming back. I very highly recommend that you stop here!

Heard about the $5 lunch plate here, and I couldn't resist a good deal! I came here after my class, and the owner, who is absolutely lovely, took my order. I found out that $5 is actually a suggested donation since he did not ask me and the other customers in line to pay. However, I still donated via Venmo because I wanted to support him! I only waited around 5 minutes before he personally handed me my order. Since I came on a Monday, my lunch plate included rice, kabocha coconut curry, chickpea curry, corn chips, strawberry halava dessert, and lemonade! For $5, you get so much for amazing value! As for the food, everything was so tasty! It was my first time trying all the food items in my lunch plate, and everything was super flavorful! I really enjoyed the chickpea curry the most. I also loved the strawberry halava dessert!! I never tried halava before, so I was pleasantly surprised when it was lightly sweet with a nice strawberry flavor. Lemonade was tangy and sweetened perfectly too. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend giving this food truck a try! The owner is an absolute sweetheart serving delicious food at a very affordable price. As a broke college student, I'm definitely coming here more often lol. Please come and support this wonderful business!

Govinda, the owner of this food truck, is a true hero. He runs this truck as a personal mission to do his part in battling food insecurity. His plates are priced at $5 (but really, this is a suggested donation and he never turns you away if you're in need). Everything in the truck is vegan, partly due to his religious beliefs (Hare Krishna) and partly to accommodate every srudents' dietary preferences. Each plate is packed with flavor, nutrition, and love. He runs a set menu for each day of the week. It always comes with a glass of lemonade and chips. Don't worry about the portion sizes. You're sure to leave satisfied. But most importantly, the owner is a genuinely good person. He always stands outside his food truck, personally greeting customers and taking their orders. He takes great pride in his work and is always ecstatic to share updates about how his business is doing and how much he is helping his community. I've spoken to him many times and he understands the food insecurity crisis that students face, hence the pricing and proximity to UCLA. In order to break even, he must sell 70 plates daily, so please frequent this place as much as you can.

This was absolutely delicious—freshly made to order! What makes it even better is the mission behind it: offering affordable, fresh, and healthy meals to everyone. It's more than just good food; it's a good cause. Supporting a mission like this doesn't just satisfy your appetite—it feeds your soul. Definitely newsworthy and worth sharing! Team Smiley
